How it works: After selecting a database link from the Library's Online Resources page, the login window opens. Login using your name as it appears on the front of your RISD ID. For Barcode, use the 14-digit number located on the back of your RISD ID. (You'll only need to do this once per browser session)

If you encounter a problem, contact the Reference Department. We'll update your library account and get things moving along.

What interests you?

Whether you're new or tenured, full or part-time, the librarians would like to get to know more about your studio and research interests. We'll set up a time to meet with you, investigate and advise on print and electronic resources that relate to your work and/or teaching, and show you around the library's seven departments. We can discuss ways to integrate a research component into a course or specific studio assignment.
